We are excited to report that Ocean State Libraries has moved to a new mobile catalog. When you go to http://catalog.oslri.net or http://encore.oslri.net on your mobile device, the online catalog will automatically bring you to the mobile version of the catalog. It is now easier to place holds, renew materials, and search for new materials using your mobile device. The LibraryAnywhere app will no longer provide access to our catalog. Please contact the library if you need any help during this transition.
